I’m oft to say it’s an honour for me to coach gymnasts. The most impressive athletes in any sport. They are superhuman.

A gymnast might make a long putt … but can Tiger Woods do a giant?
By IRunFastest, a former gymnast:
… I thought this song was fitting for a gymnastics montage because these beautiful and talented young athletes, in pursuit of perfection, often loose sight of reality and struggle with poor self esteem, poor body image, eating disorders, emotional scars, and other problems that can be carried on into adulthood. I want all of them to remember the message of this song, that they are loved
The girl at 1:15 is former Soviet gymnast and actress, Svetlana Zasypkina. At 2:12, that’s her starring in the 1988 Soviet film, “Kukolka.”
Dedicated to all gymnasts, past and present…

An important subject. A great message.

Hi, I was doing research around the web for interesting gymnastics related blogs and articles and came across yours. I have to say not being a gymnast but working for a gymnastics company (www.mancinomats.com) I am taken back by how many great videos and montages that you post. I found myself almost at tears a couple of times, and laughter a couple of others(ie. the robot). I can tell that both blogging and gymnastics are a passion for you…Keep up the great work!
Great montage. Really loved this one.
thank you so much for that video. i love the song, and i knew it before i watched the video, but it meant so much more to me when put with gymnastics. i am a level 10 gymnast and have struggled with my weight and body image the past few years. thank you so much.
